4enScrap ➾ How to Make an Advent Calendar // TUTO: Calendrier de l'Avent...

Hello dear Friends! I'm excited about today's post for at least three reasons. First, it involves 4enScrap's superb new collection of stamps and dies. Second, it's a fun recycled or I should say "upcycled" project and it's been way too long since I had one of those.Third, it's a surprise for DD Lily...

The 24 little boxes are placed on a silver tray set on the coffee table in the front room. It wasn't until I made the garland a few days ago that I realized "oh, now I know why I'm dreaming of a gilded, mother of pearl, wood, kraft kind of Christmas!" That's exactly how our front room is and it's also where we usually set up our Christmas Tree ☺

What a wonderful idea Alexandra and your DD will get such a surpise when she sees what you have mader her. Your stamps and dies are gorgeous, I really do love them. Each little parcel has been decorated so beautifully. Your front room looks like a magazine cover..I love your decor. Hugs Jane xx

It looks absolutely delightful & such a lovely idea for Lily. This is what Christmas is about - giving to our loved ones. The Gilded Christmas idea is one I really relate to for the mixture of colours is perfect with the green of the tree! Thank you for the detailed instructions.Paula (PEP)

Oh how I love this creative Advent Calendar, Alexandra! Perfect surprise for Lily & what a great decoration in your lovely room! This idea would work for little gifts at any time of year with different embellishments.
